Mustang Swap Radiator Bracket?
I know this is probably a silly question but what radiator brackets are these? I'm in the middle of a 5.3ls swap into a 1999 Mustang and I'm using a 4th gen fbody radiator and I'm pretty sure these brackets will work. I just can't figure out what vehicle they came off of. The picture is a LS swapped 1994 mustang using I believe an fbody radiator. Thank you all for looking. And yes I have

I don't think they are stock foxbody brackets. Foxbody have a major bend in them to account for the lip on upper cross-frame. The brackets in my picture are a lot flatter. I actually have a set of stock foxbody brackets and they are no bueno.
These are what stock foxbody brackets look like:

Those are stock fox body brackets from a 5.0 car. The 2.3L cars have different brackets but also still work.
Actually the 2.3L brackets have a flange off the side which hangs over the top edge of an fbody cooling fan should you want to capture the fbody cooling fan.
See images in post #27 for pics of 2.3L radiator brackets.

edit - sorry, somehow I missed your reply in post #2.
I see those are different based on the bend. A this point I don't know what they are from.

Actually I was sure I'd seen this before but I could not remember where from. Some random Google image searching:
I think they are from a Crown Vic. I did a quick google image search and got these:
